David Villa is NOT in talks with Barcelona according to Valencia and that can only be good news for the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd who have been linked with the players for some time now.

The Valencia president Manuel Llorente has been quoted saying the following

“Valencia is not negotiating and has not negotiated with Barcelona, at all,”

He has also stated that he will speak with the player and his representatives to find out if they have spoken with Barcelona

“That I will find out when I meet people directly.”

Manuel Llorente also accepts that his players are coveted by the best clubs.

“They are players who are wanted in international football and it is not strange that important teams want them. We are used to it.”

Does this now give hope to Liverpool and Man Utd or is this just the final utterances from a club president about to lose his best player to Barcelona?
